Should I sandblast my cab? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm in the process of a cab swap and need some advice on whether or not I should have the new cab sandblasted.

I understand there are some risks associated with the blasting such as warping.

My cab has some serious rust underneath with at least one front support rusted through in one spot. The firewall appears to be in good shape with only a little bubbly spot of rust where the AC condenser was bolted. There has only been a bit of bondo work that I want removed (it was poor quality and I'd just as soon have the body work done right).

How do I know if I should blast it or not?
